Pine River Capital Management and Wellington Management Company led the $60 million funding round, which Apigee says it will use to "accelerate across all areas of its business to keep up with demand for APIs and big data analytics, as enterprises increasingly embrace these technologies for digital business."

Its focus has been on the enterprise market lately, but Apigee is also a big player in telecom. Waqar Hasan, Apigee senior vice president of big data, told Light Reading earlier this month that the company is focused on helping operators pull together traditional customer information with machine data for a more complete view of the customer, which then enables predictive analytics.

"We can predict who is likely to churn for a telecom provider, then say, 'what is the offer they should give to them to retain them?' Those are the benefits of deeper bits of information," he said. "That is really the promise of big data that we're bringing to the table."

IPO ahead Apigee is the biggest standalone API company left. The space has seen a lot of changes and consolidation in the industry starting with the operators taking a WAC at it, then selling to Apigee, and its two main competitors both being acquired. I bet we'll see an IPO sooner rather than later.
